Fierce Delight

With a journalist' s eye for detail and a poet' s capacity for won-der, Bright captures the intense moments of early motherhood.Here are the worry and the fierce delight, the 3 a.m. wake-ups, andthe floor strewn with Cheerios. These poems read like snapshots,freeze-framing days that feel both fleeting and unending, evenwhile the rest of the poet' s life hums in the background, waitingfor its turn to thrive.
